FOURTH OF JULY IN HONOLULU.

The Hawaiian people, ever since they
have become a nation, and recognized
by the great American Republic, have
celebrated the anniversary of American
Independence on the 4th of July as
warmly and enthusiastically as if it were
a much-cherished native national holt
day; and they will hear with regret that
there are Americans who want to cele-
brate in Hawaii this much hcncred holt
day in way to "accentuate" the oppo-
sition of American residents to the Ha-
waiian Government. Such is the utter
ance of Serene E. Bishop, supposed to be
a preacher of the gospel of peace and
good will among men, but we feel salts
fed that Hawaiian opinion Will execrate
this assumption on the part of such a
man to represent an alleged American
antagonism to their Sovereign and their
Government on Americas great holt
day.
A fuller illustration of our remarks is
presented in the following correspond
ence:
AT the meeting OtAA AhSIs W pIOflOe
for the celebration of the Fourth of July,
strong desire was expressed to emphasize
the principles of American government,
"of the people, by the people, and for the
people" at this time when all participa-
ton by the people in the Government of
Hawaii has been eliminated, and the en-
tire power has been concentrated in the
hands of the King. whose DEGREES the cor
ruptly elected Legislatures have become
merely passive instruments to register.
BY the Government paper of this morn
ing's issue, it appears that the committee
OF arrangements have accepted the free use
of the refreshment hall OF Mr.. sPremier
Gibson for the evening festivities.
Asmy name appears as contributor to
the expense fund of the celebration, wish |
to express the opinion that no favor in
this matter should be accepted FROM the
man who has been the Kings chief and
supple instrument in destroying our con-
stitutional rights, the American opposition
to which course we meet to accentuate.

On the 22d day of August, 1885, there
was born on board the Hawaiian bark

Colonel Mathews had hazarded guess
that 10000 people were in the building, but
the number had gradually grown and
space was each minute becoming more
valuable.
THE DISTINGUISHED PARTY
Was seated as follows, from right TO lett:
Commodore Beckley, Mrs. Gorham D.
Gilman, Consul Bond, Mrs. Beckley, Col.
Boyd, Queen Kapiolani, Mayor 20 Brien,
Princess LIiuokalani Councilman Fow-
Ter, Mrs. O'Brien, General n. P. Banks.
The Queen wore handsome black silk
dress made demi-train, with an entire front
of jet, and jet ornaments on the side
draperies. Costly black lace finished the
neck and sleeves and white gloves were
worn. For ornaments she wore on her left
breast the handsome diamond Star of the
Order of Kamehameha, 1.-the lonely one, "
and a diamond ring outside the glove
bracelets, necklace and ear-drOps were
of

And a small "pouf" or roll of rare white
feathers lay in her hair In her hand she
carried bouquet of flowers which had

This gentleman was Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Hawaii for many years,
and after that His Majesty's Minister to
Washington, where he died not many years
since. The Queen had received another
bouquet for the evening OF magnificent
jacqueminot roses, but she carried the
other in preference, saying that those who
sent it might be present at the reception
and feel hurt if she did not show her APP
probation of the man and the gift.
Colonel Boyd sat by her side, with his
chair not on the line, but behind the
Queens, and famed Her Majesty at in
tervals.
She looked gracious and smiled on the
children, who bowed shyly to her, and es-
pecIally on the old lady who made the best
courtesy of the evening.
The Princess looked simply magnificent
in black velvet gown made with a long
train and cut square neck, with no sleeves.
The front was heavily trimmed with dull
jet, and bands of the same passed down
the back side seams of the bodice Her
handsome neck and arms were bare, and
short black gloves with black gauze fan
completed the costume. She wore no or
naments save a wreath of pink and purple
hyacinths about the edge of the neck and
the shell comb that held the knot of her
wavy hair in place.
Mrs. Gilman had black lace dress made
over black satin, the black lace sleeves be-
ing lined with heliotrope satin. with hello
trope cOlored ostrich tips in her hair-this
hue being very becoming to her fair COM
plexion.
Mrs Beckley wore a gown of soft black
lace, with long tan-colored gloves.
Mrs. O'Brien wore lilac MORE silk, with
a front of silver brocade, from which the
side panels were turned back i'll revers
faced with point lace. Her ornaments
were diamonds at her throat and in her
hair.

GOVERNMENT SIX PER CENT LOAN.

We desire to meet some inquiry in re-
spect to our Government loan. We will
not at this time present an exact finan-
cial statement, but give a few figures
for general information.
The Loan Act, approved October Is,
1886, authorized His Maiesty's Govern
ment to borrow 100000. Of this
amount $500, 900 was taken up in-Hono-
lulu and 81 800. 900, or rather 93OO, 900,
were to be negotiated for in London
100000, or say 81, 100000, was offered
on the money market of this great
financial center, and more than ten
times the amount was speedily sub
scribed for. There being no bonds ready
for issuance at the time, the subscribers
were not called upon for any payments be-
yond a small guarantee percentage of
the amount subscribed. However, the
financial agents having charge of the
transaction have advanced the Govern
ment on loan account $500, 900, of which
the sum of $485, 900 was RENTED to San
Francisco some time ago, and the Gov
eminent has advices at this time of an
additional remittance of $4,000 on
Government Loan Account.
Now, as to the disposition of Loan
Funds, we present the following:

tIrc.

Inc Washington Riding Academy,
which Mr.. j. D. Brown is erecting at the
corner of Twenty-second and p streets
is destined to be Il society craze. 1t will
not be like the skating rink or other
kindred fancies that spring up like
mushrooms every day, but is here to
stay. The location is admirably suited
10 the purposes of the school. Bound
nry avenue, one of the finest roads in
the District, comes up to the very door,
and there win ne no necessity for eques-
trians to travel over miles Of concrete
before reaching the country. The
scenery around the school is constant
inducement to take ride. Besides this,
the Metropolitan ears pass the door.
For several years the dream of great
many Washingtonans has been first
class riding school, and it was left for a
live New Yorker to come here and start
il. Secretary Whitney, whose long
familiarity with the New York riding
schools taught him their value, both
physically and socially, suggested the
matter to MIR. Brown, who at first did
not think the affair would be self-sus-
tanning. But the enthusiasm with which
the project was received by well known
society people made him change his
mind, and the result of this is the mag
niicent buildingnear the P-street bridge.
The building itself cost $4,000.

ing the building. The club parlors, re-
ception rooms, dining room, etc., will all
be commodious apartments and will be
handsomely furnished. A natural
spring on the property will supply all
the water needed for drinking and clean
ing. 1t should be added also that no
less than four frc-escapcs will be pro.
yidcd, nor can too much stress be laid
upon the fact that the academy will be
absolutely free from any unpleasant
odors and from all suggestion of the
stable.
1t has already been demonstrated that
the subscription plan is the only one
upon which an institution Of this char
acter can be successfully organized. II
is the intention of Mr.. Brown, there
fore, TO secure u number of subscribers
to the enterprise, the subscription price
being fixed ut the nominal sum of 500,
figure which is considerably lower
than is paid in New York for fewer
privileges than will be accorded here.
RIGHTS OF SUBSCRIBERS.
"What will the subscribers receive IL
return for their money!" was asked oi
Mr.. Brown.
"1n the first place." was his reply
"thcy will be entitled to the use Of th'
ring at all hours when it is open, witt
the exception of the class hours. In bat
weather, for instance, when rider can
not get out upon the road, he has th
use of the ring to exercise both himsel
and his horse. Then, every subscribe
has private locker, in which 10 cal

On the north or front side of the build
Ing and level with the gallery, will be
the ladies' and gentlemen's essing
rooms, the former being fitted up with
eighty lockers, and the latter with 100.
These rooms are so arranged that they
can be thrown into one long apartment,
suitable for dancing. The toilet rooms
arc to be fitted up in handsome style,
with all the modern conveniences, such

THE CLUB ROOMS.
Above the dressing rooms will be the
club rooms. This is feature of The
school which promises to be very popu-
lar. The subscribers will have the privi-
leges of these rooms and will find in them
all the daily papers and a well managed
buffet, presided over by an accomplished
chef. The menu will be varied and the
cost will be reasonable. Gentlemen

THE NEW RIDING ACADEMY.

The riding academy will present so
many novel features that u detailed de-
!scription of it will DO worth reading. II
occupies, for instance, $4,000 square feet
of ground. The topography Of its loca-
ton il such that, although it is four
stories in height, the two lower floors
are below the level of the pavement,
and the visitor enters the main floor or
riding ring direct from the street. The
exterior il of very attractive design, as
Indicted in the accompanying picture,
while the interior combines all that eX-
,ericncc has shown to be of value in
'iding schools up to the present day.
The ground floor is the carriage room,
md by the use of iron columns the en-
ire space covered by the building has
been utilized. In this vast room $50
carriages can be stored, and it will also
Icrve MS an admirable place TO shelter
carriages when on winter nights enter
tainments are given at the academy.
The entrances TO the room are through
seven large arches of stone.
The second floor will be used as q
stable, 100 stalls, each 5x0 feet, being
provided for the accommodation of the
horses. Cutters running from each stall
allow for excellent drainage, and the
ventilation will be perfect. Large win
dows open out on every side. In one
corner will be the saddle and harness
room, and Immediately adjoining will
be an inclined walk, outside of the build
ing, but housed in, up and down which
the horses will pass from the stables to
the ring floor. The latter is of course
the main feature of the building.
The entire $4,000 square feet will
be devoted to the ring. Upon Il
double floor will be laid six inches
OF clay and twelve inches of tan
bark, making a perfect riding surface.
The ring is so large that it only requires
seven circuits of it to complete mile
and is giant among its kind. The ring
floor is exccllently lighted and ventilated.
Large windows are placed in the wall at
the height of person on horseback and
from them the view already described
may be enjoyed. Along the sides Of the
high roof are other windows, which can
be opened or shut at will, thus insuring
thorough circulation of air. A hand
some wainscoting of oiled wood will be
placed around the ring. On this flooi
also will be the office and the reception
room, while at the western end will be
the broad entrance and exit for the
riders. Two other entrances will also be
provided-one on the east of the office
for ladies, while the one on the west will
open into the Office itself. The latter is
so arranged that it overlooks all the en-.
frances and the ring as well. This al.

Each of these tickets entities the holder
to II lesson or ride. When music
nights are given the subscriber is enti-
tied to admission and the galleries are
reserved exclusively for the use of sub
scribers' families. The dressing-rooms,
with all their cOnvenienCes, are also ut
the disposal of the subscribers. In adj

suggestion of Secretary Whitney, to de-
